Since starting the role in 2019, Dr. Brower has established a wellness advocacy network that encompasses 30,000 employees, which he meets with every other week. The network consists of representatives from clinical and science departments that will then share their ideas and suggestions with other leaders. They also have a grant program that allows different departments to pilot programs that help employee wellbeing.
“One thing is change takes time, but it happens,” Dr. Brower said. “Relationships with whomever I interact with are the key. As a chief wellness officer, I can’t really afford to have anybody other than allies. It’s really connecting with people where they’re at. And realizing that all challenges are opportunities.”
